Submitted by admin on Wed, 2011-07-13 22:13

How can a computer be made to do something most humans take for granted-
recognise 3D shapes? What makes the human brain like a computer? These
questions and more are tackled in this weeks episode as our
correspondants look at computer vision, and own limited short-term
memory capacity. Our discussion centres around the topical subject of
sexism in the workplace, and we have tasty news stories for you
including the dangers of sex with men from the future and the circular
food chain employed by some microbes. Our EUWhat rounds things off with
news of the signals men in fast cars are sending to women, and the way
in which women receive them. Enjoy.
